TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[burekemde]

Chances of the super-skilled Kyrie Irving developing happiness as a Mavs player, are infinitely higher than the happy and one-dimensional DFS suddenly developing multiple novel basketball skills. This reasoning alone makes this move worth it. It is of key importance for long term Mavs franchise to contend - right now. We dont want to end in situation of losing a generational talent that has it to win many titles. Kyrie is a basketball fit and makes us contend - right now - SD and DFS simply do not. Picks we dont need as we need and want to give the minutes to Green and Hardy. The move IMO will be regarded as brilliant. It is easy to immediately spot this trade a huge mistake by Mavs given the lack of happiness of Irving on the other teams, but he still produced quality basketball.
